Internally geared Nexus hub on a MTB frame?
I’ve asked three different mechanics this question, and nobody seems to be able to give a definitive answer, so here goes.
I’m getting ready to build a new city bike, but I want to build it on a mountain bike frame (26er, cromoly). I would really like to go with a Nexus 7speed internally geared hub, rather than a derailler, and just a single ring on the front bracket. So here’s the question… can I run this on a single-speed frame (with horizontal dropouts) or do I have to stick with vertical dropouts? Is there a serious disadvantage either way? Thanks for the advice everybody.
Single speed frames work better. An internally geared bike acts like a single speed as far as the chain is concerned. But there are adapters to help out with standard derailer frames.
I’ve included several links to Sheldon Brown, one of the biggest advocates for the internally geared hub.
The Nuvinci is a continuously variable unit that seems to work well. The Rohloff is the ne plus ultra unit. It has 14 gears and years of bullet proof operation.
Happy trails!
